Greater trochanteric bursitis/tendonitis

What is Hip Bursitis:

Does pain on the outside of your hip make it hard to sleep, walk comfortably, or even sit for extended periods?

You might be suffering from hip bursitis. Dr. Jorge Gonzalez at the Institute of Regenerative Orthopedics & Sports Medicine (IROSM) specializes in effective treatments to ease your hip pain and get you moving freely again.

Remember, early intervention and a comprehensive approach to healing are key in overcoming hip bursitis and getting back to your active lifestyle

Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome/Trochanteric Bursitis

Bursae are tiny, fluid-filled sacs that cushion your joints.

Hip bursitis occurs when the bursae around your hip joint become inflamed, causing pain, swelling, and tenderness.

There are several bursae around the hip, with the most commonly inflamed being on the outer point of the hip bone

Who’s at Risk for Hip Bursitis?

Several factors can put you at risk for hip bursitis, including:

Overuse Injuries: Activities involving repetitive hip movements (running, stair climbing, etc.) can irritate the bursae.
Injury or Fall A direct impact to the hip can lead to bursitis.
Medical Conditions Rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and spine conditions increase your risk.
Previous Hip Surgery: Surgery can sometimes cause inflammation in the bursae.

Potential Complications of Untreated Hip Bursitis

While often treatable, hip bursitis that’s left untreated can lead to:

Chronic Pain: The inflammation and discomfort can become persistent.
Limited Mobility: Pain may make it increasingly difficult to walk, climb stairs, or perform daily activities.
Sleep Disruption: Hip pain can worsen when lying on the affected side.

Experts in Treating Hip Bursitis: Dr. Jorge Gonzalez and the Institute of Regenerative Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

Dr. Gonzalez begins with a thorough evaluation, including your medical history, a physical examination, and potentially imaging studies (like X-ray or MRI) to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions.

Treatment Path: From Conservative to Advanced

Nonsurgical Options: Rest, ice, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy are often the first line of treatment. Corticosteroid injections may also be utilized for pain relief and to reduce inflammation.
Minimally Invasive Solutions: In rare cases where bursitis doesn’t improve, Dr. Gonzalez may discuss procedures to drain excess fluid or surgically remove the inflamed bursa.
Regenerative Therapies: Dr. Gonzalez may incorporate regenerative therapies like PRP to promote healing and reduce inflammation, often in conjunction with other treatments.
